Echo-Pulse

Echolocation pulse: map 30 ft area in dark or smoke, locating walls and creatures even while blinded.

A single sonar ping, fired from the chest. Walls, doors, furniture and creatures inside a 30-ft radius return as a coarse map in the mind of the gene-psion -- good enough to move, fight, and count bodies, but not good enough to read a face or pick a lock. Works through darkness, smoke, fog, and blindness.
